Taj tere liye ik mazahar-e-ulfat hi sahi – Sahir Ludhianvi



Taj tere liye ik mazahar-e-ulfat hi sahi
tum ko is vadi-e-rangin se aqidat hi sahi
mere mahbub kaheen aur mila kar mujh se!
bazm-e-shahi mein garibon ka guzar kya mani
sabt jis reh pe hon satavat-e-shahi ke nishan
us pe ulfat bhari ruhon ka safar kya mani
meri mahbub pas-e-parda-e-tashir-e-vafa
tu ne satavat ke nishanon ko to dekha hota
murda shahon ke maqabir se bahalevali
apne tarik makanon ko to dekha hota
anaginat logon ne duniya mein muhabbat ke hai
kon kehta hai ki sadiq na the jazbe un ke
lekin un ke liye tashir ka saman nahi
q ke wo log bhi apni hi tarah mufalis the
ye imarat-o-maqabir ye fasilen, ye hisar
mutal-qulhukm shahanashahon ke azamat ke sutun
daman-e-dahar pe us rang ke gulakari hai
jis mein shamil hai tere aur mere ajadad ka khoon
meri mahabub! unhen bhi to muhabbat hogi
jinaki sannai ne bakhshi hai ise shakl-e-jamil
un ke pyaron ke maqabir rahe benam-o-namud
aj tak un pe jalai na kisi ne qandil
ye chamanazar ye jamuna ka kinara ye mahal
ye munaqqash dar-o-divar, ye maharab ye taq
ik shahanashah ne daulat ka sahara le kar
hum garibon ke muhabbat ka udaya hai mazak
mere mahbub kaheen aur mila kar mujhase!


Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Sahir Ludhianvi
